Forums - Gaming Discussion - 43 Days to E3 - 8 Press Conferences. Could This be the Best/Biggest E3 Ever?

Best E3 was 2013 imo.



Around the Network

I'm so hyped I put a timer in my Sig, lol.



It will be blue balls for Nintendo fans.

We will NOT see the NX.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I rate them by "presentation"and "announcements" because they can have lotsa games announced but if the presentation is bad, like only showing a glimpse of the game or just a boring CGI the conference will still be meh.

Sony has been a disappointment with their game announcements in the last few years. Last year was just terrible, too long, not much major announcements, non gaming parts like Powers, Adam Boyes being smug on stage, presenting that cringeworthy "gamer letter", Vita no show. I'm not hopeful about them this year either so anything good will be a pleasant surprise.

presentation: rectify mistakes of last year so good

announcements: 5/10 if last few years are anything to go by. Tired of shooters, want Japanese exclusives like Bloodborne but prolly won't get them

 

 

Nintendo: not expecting anything either, with a new console coming there won't be any major games in development for Wii U or they're transformed to cross gen. They still won't revive their old IPs either or create new big ones, from their EAD teams. Presentation wise it's likely going to be good.

presentation: good

announcements: 2/10 Tired of the same few franchises Nintendo goes back to, will prolly not have any new AAA game announcement

 

Microsoft: Been more than a year since Phil Spencer took over, I expect lots from them, specially his tweet saying it'll be the strongest year for them first party wise.

presentation: good, will prolly not show too many cgi after last year, it's time for some gameplay from those games.

announcements: 8/10 expecting really strong 1st party output. New Rare game, Scalebound gameplay hopefully.



Hope so! :D

Hope for the best. Expect less. Hope its a great E3. Hope to see a bunch of 1st party games from Sony obv. But my hype has been lowered since KH3/FFXV wont be a focus which is ok. Peeps just need to up there games this time around.



"gameplay"

>person standing on stage playing a game on a tv screen.

nintendo will win this again easyly. they will show real gameplay and not cgitrailer that look like gameplay, and they will have some surprises.

from the 3rd partys, well this could be a good E3, they will show many new games i hope.



I hope the Japanese companies announce localizations!



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

Safe bet on the biggest. Not sure about the best. I'm pretty hyped though. Still can't believe there's a PC focused conference. Can't wait to see what comes out of that.
